I actually never had an account on that other place. So I'm sorta new to the whole microblogging thing. This place has a good vibe, though.

You know the old Andy Griffith looking motherfucker in Die Hard 2?

The guy eating canned soup and watching an antique TV in a condemned building, 'til he got shot by weirdos?

First time I saw that shit, I was like "wow, what a weird life."

Joke's on me, now. That is basically my retirement plan.

GODDAMMIT, I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO PLAYING THAT "TROMBONE CHAMP" GAME, AND IT BROKE MY BRAIN.

It defaults to inverted Y-axis mouse controls.

I played that shit for 84 minutes, across two sessions, and now I keep mousing and mouse-wheel-scrolling up when I want to go down, and vice versa.

WTFBBQ.

Awesome! I didn't know about that resource.

I hasten to add that kernel-level anti-cheat is bullshit, and should be hated by everyone.

I'm pretty sure solutions like Proton are the preferred method, now. As well as some others I don't remember the name of.

Wine might not be the best for most games, anymore.

Also, if it's specifically Battlefield that this person wants to play, its anti-cheat may be very hard to run.

These are truth words.

Gotta chime in, saying that chest freezers are objectively better, despite taking up a larger floor footprint and being more annoying to load and unload.

They're just massively more efficient and reliable.

First of all, I agree that nobody should have that much money.

Secondly, sitting and former presidents shouldn't be able to sue anyone. Period.

If you aren't comfortable with losing that right, then you're not willing to humbly serve your nation.

We can find someone who will make that sacrifice.

I'm more worried about the forest of dicks.

You know what would be UNIRONICALLY AMAZING?

A base-building and crafting game, where all the characters from Postal 2 are the villagers and enemies, and all the items in the game also come from Postal 2, with all that interconnected Postal 2 logic, intact.

Make ur own Paradise. From piss blocks.

"A likely story. We did a little digging, and found out she owned TWO pairs of shoes, that whole time. And so many elastic ponytail holders that you could always just find some of them abandoned under her couch." - Republicans, probably

It's goddamned performative.

He knows what the fuck it looks like. It's weaponized contrarianism.

I mean, not for nothing, but we did transition into being a new nation. Nobody has a problem with that.

On the other hand, it's VERY obvious that a looooooot of these conservatives would have sided with the Brits, because rebelling for freedom IS the "disorderly," "criminal" option.

Me, grinning malevolently at the Soulslike players, as they stare at the copy of Miner 2049er, for the Atari 400/800: "Why yes, I'm sure y'all can beat this quaint old game, without any problems. It's only got 10 levels, after all. I'm sure you'll 'get good' in no time."

Ukobach (COOL HALLOWEEN REFERENCE) @uk0bach.bsky.social · 2d

The first four levels of Miner 2049er are pure muscle memory.

Then you get to the 5th level and fuck everything past that. I don't know who was out there completing that game.

The weird thing is, people can post Obese Marsupial Furry Vore comics all fucking day long, and nobody is in those replies, like "you're over here jerking it to a cut off leg sticking out of a pouch, but what about all the REAL atrocities?"

Did you guys know that Leni Riefenstahl was also persecuted for being a strong woman, in a male dominated industry?

(yes, I am being sarcastic. I'm sad that I have to point that out)

I'm just fucking with you. Ain't gonna be no internet or electricity and shit, in another thirty years.

I mean, Bezos and Zuck and Elon's brain in a jar will have internet in their bunkers. But the rest of us will be hunting rats and tending to our mutant snail farms.

Ukobach (COOL HALLOWEEN REFERENCE) @uk0bach.bsky.social · 2d

Okay, but why had I forgotten about this so thoroughly, and yet also retain such a molecule-for-molecule perfect memory of them?

Jesus, in another thirty years, someone's gonna post some specific package of vape pens, and it'll have the same effect this picture has.

...is that one cop offering the frog a foot-long hotdog without a bun?

That's even less realistic than a can of Pepsi.

From a purely technical perspective, the inside of that thing isn't part of their kingdom.

I mean, the light doesn't touch it.

I want to visit the universe where id Software didn't get distracted, and REALLY moved forward with the Quake series.

We could have gotten Hurricane, Tsunami, Volcano, Tornado, Landslide, Flood, and even Haboob.

I know a Haboob isn't the same level of natural disaster as the others, BUT THE NAME!

I wonder what the exact day and date was, when the edict came down from on high: COMPUTER INTERFACES CAN'T BE FUN ANYMORE. PACK UP ALL THE FUN. NO MORE WHIMSICAL ANYTHING. GET RID OF IT.

Occasionally, I also think about how weird it is, that there are direct flights from Cairo to Las Vegas.

Some Egyptian toddler has definitely gone on vacation with his family, to Vegas, and been left with the years-long impression that all cities must have pyramids.
